Dr. Tabor is always humble, saying his mentor was greater than he. Maybe that’s true, but today Tabor is one of the best Biblical scholars in North America. Make no mistake about it.
This is one of my favorites. I've listened to it three times. I recommended it to my Friends. I'm having the best time . Just listening and learning from the series and also his teachings. Best
James Tabor is really brilliant. As a Spaniard, I recommend Antonio Piñero, but he is basically a philolog, but Tabor has the merit to be an archeolog. He- s really a great intellectual.
This may be a dumb question, but has anyone ever tried or tested the DNA recovered from the "Shroud of Turin" against the DNA found in the "Jesus Family Tomb"? If so what was the conclusion?
Speaking on the celibacy of Jesus the jew: Back in early 2000's a jewish friend told me that, under certain circumstances, it is good for some people to remain strictly in celibacy. Later, due to health problems and some other issues, I and my wife became absolute celibacy practitioners, and we found absolutely no discomfort or lack of affection situations. In such a situation, both understood plenty of fruits of marriage that are hidden in the cultural tradition of humans that sex is a manifestation of love in marriage. I, personally, came to understand that avoiding natural sexual impulse in normal and average humans is but excruciating. Was Jesus the jew, like us? I would have told Jesus: "rabbi, we learned to live without sexual accesories".
I’d like to go through one of those huge 3 ft by 15 inch bibles to see what they cut out to give us the average book size bibles we normally see! I don’t give much credence to either size but it probably would be interesting to peruse for entertainment value!;)
I'm sure you already know this by now, so it's probably old news, or you may have already known it during the time of this video and just didn't think about it. But before went to that too deep, let me first say that I love your research, references, and ability to express what you learned. In this video there was a question about the word Nazar, and it has been recurrent that I have come across the word Nazar to yes mean branch but also and more relevant as set apart. Nazareth was the place set apart from the city, a Nazarite was a person from there, but much like being from Israel doesn't make you a Jew, being from Nazareth didn't make you set apart. The early Believers of the Christ, were called Nasarim/The Nazarenes. This is what I've run across anyhow. If I am wrong, please correct me, and if I helped.... No thanks necessary. I thank YOU for doing the foot work that many SHOULD HAVE long before you. God Bless and BE Blessed friend.
If you read Yogananda s Second Coming of Christ and Autobiography of a Yogi, he explains resurrection in detail which conforms to the glorified body of Christ explanation of Tabor.
Very interesting interview. Thank you, Professor. It would be very interesting to reveal the secrets of your archeological research in the fortress of Sepphoris.
I have wondered if that all really is the Temple Mount. Jesus said there would be no stone left on another. I take that o mean there wouldn't be identifiable ruins.
The tomb of the shroud; it’s the shroud wrapping the man with lepracy? The same tomb where Tabor entertains the idea of James Oshuary coming from? Carying that idea over, I can’t help but think that it was possible the rich man with lepracy was Jesus’ patron??
FIRST ERROR: "NAZAReth" is NOT derived from the Hebrew word "netzer" for "branch". It is the word "NAZIR" meaning "consecrated", and was used of Samson. Like Samson, Jesus was supposed to be "consecrated" to God from his mother's womb; BUT in HIS case HE WAS "God".
SECOND ERROR: Joseph's "hometown" was supposed to be BETHLEHEM because he was supposed to be a descendent of King David according to the two gospel genealogies and so THAT'S why the couple returned there to be counted for the Roman census. Mary's family, apparently being Levitim according to the "Lukan" gospel and so "NAZIR" or CONSECRATED as priests, was from NAZAReth. Usually in ancient cultures the wife moved in with the husband's family, but apparently not in this case.
THIRD ERROR: Contrary to the popular interpretation that the saying "Can any good (thing) come from out of NAZAreth" is a contemporary sardonic remark about the worth of the obscure little village, THIS is NOT so or it could have been said about ANY similar small unknown village of the place and time. NAZAReth has thus UNdeservedly "earned" a bad repute it NEVER originally had. The phrase was invented by the Gospel author as a facetious contrast to the NAME of the place meaning "Of the CONSECRATED/SANCTIFIED"; as if asking "What GOOD can come out of the HOLY place?"; at least for THIS World. The CHRISTian's answer was of course intended to be: JESUS!🤗😄😁🤔
FOURTH ERROR: Tabor FIRST DENIES he's an archaeologist (which is true because he's a historian who analyzes ancient chronographies) BUT then claims he IS an archaeologist AND a historian!! THIS is the same inanity about himself as when he pronounces his own last name as "Taybor" instead of with the "soft A" sound like the Hebrew pronunciation of the name of the central Palestinian mountain for which his family's named: "TABOR"!!
This isn't an error because Tabor is correct that the Greek word used in the "Gospels" to describe his (earthly) father's job "tekton" means "maker" or "builder"; it can also mean "crafter" or "artificer" however, like a carpenter. But the main point is that the generic connotation of the word aligns it with Hebrew term "CANIN". The SIGNificance of this is that the older word for the country of Palestine was "CANAAN" and it was at the village of CANA that Jesus miraculously changed the water into wine at the marriage feast. And MOST importantly the "Book of Deuteronomy" explicitly gives the NAME OF GOD as being "CANA"... which also means "zealous" and "jealous"!! The message is thus that Jesus is the Son of the Creator God Father.
FIFTH ERROR: I think it's more a "blooper" than having fallacious information when Tabor lets slip the second time he talks about Sepphoris as the capital city of Galilee that it contained the palace of "Herod the Great(Antipater) when the first time he correctly mentioned Herod ANTIPAS his son. I have often noticed in his videos how he makes many little slips with people and place names. I know he deals with ALOT of information so I hope age isn't catching up with him!
Imagine the Christ who like Jesus instead of turning the money tables in the churches and synagogue he goes into the United Nations and does the same thing and calls them the den of thieves. Putting them on notice changing their ways to walk in the ways of YHVH and not their own ways. This would be the True Christ. Blessed be him… Prince of Peace.
Romans started to collect tax-payer catalogues about same era when Jesus was born and lived. And Judes made their family trees, didn't they. It is matter of time when if those can be found, from Vatican and so on. But name Jesus there sure will not be. In time of Jesus the population of Jerusalem and Israel was somehow similar than middle-size city or smaller metropol so digging out family of Jesus mark surely won't be mission impossible.
Profession of Dad of Jesus, Jesus, and Thomas as "Tekton=Builder" is also confirmed from this historic evidence that Jesus sent Thomas to Taxila (now in Pakistan,) in order to build palace of Raja (king) of Taxila. And even today we can see a small Statue of Thomas in Taxila Museum. However, Carpentry is also sub-section of building a Building. There is tons and tons of multiple historic evidence that during age 12 to 30, for 18 years, Jesus remained in India and Nepal. This is based on multiple historic evidence, but you are just making a guess that he remained in Palestine, and was busy in his stone-masonry business. This ABSOLUTELY not true.
Imagine the Christ who would turn over the money tables at the United Nations and call them the Den of Thieves, this is the True Christ who comes to make the Nations walk in the ways of God and not their own ways. Blessed be him.
Ummmm... hmmmm. I was under the impression the den of thieves was Golgatha. Your mind, or the place of a skull. It's an allegorical teaching about your mind. Jesus enters your temple, the one you made a den of thieves and he drives out the money changers, and those that sold Doves or "The Holy Spirit". Christ is your highest and most balanced self. It's best to accept and deal with it.
@@StefanMusicHuntley You should read "The unseen realm" It's about Babylon and how the nations were separated from God. Isaiah 2 is God who brings the world back into his charge and in Isaiah 11 heals the land. The United Nations and NATO are considered an anti-semitic group(Revelation 13).
*This is very unfortunate* that almost in all religions, Rabbis Priests Mullahs and Imams sometime misuse their theology in order to advance their personal Agendas. Same is done by many Bible Scholars and Archeologists. For example: there is one Canadian Archeologist Dan Gibson who spread a big fuss that Original Mecca is not Mecca but Original Mecca was in Petra (now in Jordan). But premises for his claim was based on the direction of Mehrab (Niche) of Mosques toward Mecca. But that Educated-Ignorant Dan Gibson failed to know that in early Mosques, there was no any Mehrab facing toward Mecca. The innovation of Merab was started 100 years after the death of Prophet Mohammad during the era of Omayyad Caliphs when they blended Five daily Zoroastrian Namaz Rituals in Islam through Forgery of Hadith of Flying-Horse Buraq. Quran talks about Salat, but Salat is not any kind of Rituals. Quran blasts all kinds of Rituals in 2:177 by saying that Praying Rituals facing Kaaba is not a Good deed but Good deed is to be a Muslim (4:136), and then live as a Philanthropist (extend services to humanity). In all Original Scriptures, there is no any Rituals and it cannot be because God is Omnipresent and is not confined to any specific Temple, Building and City. When you are sitting in your home or you are on walk, you can talk to God anytime; God is closer to you than even your neck-vein (Quran 50:16, 2:115, 57:4, 58:7). And FACT is: even the Rituals which Jews pray are not from Original Torah but Sanhedrin made it. Even Five daily prayers of Zoroastrians were not introduced by Prophet Zoroaster but by another their False Prophet Hakeem Mani. Mr. Tabor: We are in this field more than your whole Career-span. If you deny that Jesus was not in India, and he is not buried in RazaBal, then either you lack info on this subject or like Dan Gibson, you are deliberately misusing your Archaeology in order to advance your own agenda
There was some very interesting information in what you are saying and I love the quotation about God being closer even than one's neck-vein. There is much disagreement on many things, but I wouldn't impute wrong motives to Dr.Tabor. I believe he is a conscientious, earnest and honest seeker of truth. He is always open to have his mind changed and often does, in light of new information or cogent persuasion.
Dr. Tabor is always humble, saying his mentor was greater than he. Maybe that’s true, but today Tabor is one of the best Biblical scholars in North America. Make no mistake about it.
Agreed.
This is one of my favorites. I've listened to it three times.
I recommended it to my Friends.
I'm having the best time . Just listening and learning from the series and also his teachings.

These videos could be 1-3 hrs longer and I'd still watch. I appreciate Dr. Tabor taking the time to start a RUclips channel.
James Tabor is really brilliant. As a Spaniard, I recommend Antonio Piñero, but he is basically a philolog, but Tabor has the merit to be an archeolog. He- s really a great intellectual.
This may be a dumb question, but has anyone ever tried or tested the DNA recovered from the "Shroud of Turin" against the DNA found in the "Jesus Family Tomb"? If so what was the conclusion?
They're actually trying to do that soon. COVID made it difficult for a bit but I remember hearing Tabor saying he's trying to do that soon
I did do thart. I digged him, I dig him n dug him , we havn a good time too. How's yoo doin'?
Thanks for another great video.
Great work
I can imagine rush hour at Sepphoris as Jesus was trying to get to work.
Nice to see you here .
Thank You.
To me this is just more proof for the existence of christ. There's many doubters in this world. Great episode thank you Mr TABOR........
Is this proof he's divine and/or God?
I'd say no. This shows the bible is embellishing stories of people that actually lived, nothing more
@@timcarbone007 No proof needed really. Christianity is based on faith.
@@wataboutya9310 exactly! No difference than Loch Ness or Big Foot. Claims without proof, or even evidence!
Lots of good info inthis video.

No you are indeed bang on as far as I see Matthew 2.
( on the idea of a novel about Jesus, there is "Jesus: Man Not Myth" by Fr. Peter Snow )
Excellent video.

Hey Dr. Tabor!
Very interesting interview. Thank you, Professor. It would be very interesting to reveal the secrets of your archeological research in the fortress of Sepphoris.
I believe what you have said. count me as almost nobody.
Jesus's family were general builders
I have wondered if that all really is the Temple Mount. Jesus said there would be no stone left on another. I take that o mean there wouldn't be identifiable ruins.
Curious about the recent arguments that Nazareth didn't exist at the time of Jesus.
Are the DNA Samples being shared with the Answers in Genius Folks?
The tomb of the shroud; it’s the shroud wrapping the man with lepracy? The same tomb where Tabor entertains the idea of James Oshuary coming from?
Carying that idea over, I can’t help but think that it was possible the rich man with lepracy was Jesus’ patron??

Mr. Tabor, you are building your own eternal prison, stone by stone, video by video. Soon, you will not be able to escape yourself.
Did Jesus really have blood brothers and sisters?
Unless his mother had been rendered biologically incapable of bearing more children.
Nobody in the bible had a Bible
The five Books of Moses is in the Bible.
Profession of Dad of Jesus, Jesus, and Thomas as "Tekton=Builder" is also confirmed from this historic evidence that Jesus sent Thomas to Taxila (now in Pakistan,) in order to build palace of Raja (king) of Taxila.
